01 Discover: What Is Volume & Capacity?
"Capacity tells us how much liquid something can hold! We measure small amounts in millilitres and bigger amounts in litres — and we always pick the unit that fits the container."
Millilitre
mL · about a spoonful of syrup
Use millilitres for small amounts of liquid you could sip, spoon, or drip.
💧 Fun fact: A teaspoon holds about 5 millilitres — it takes 200 of them to fill a 1 litre bottle!
Litre
L · about a full carton of juice
Use litres for bigger amounts of liquid you'd pour from a jug, carton, or bottle.
💧 Fun fact: A full 1-litre bottle holds exactly 1,000 millilitres — that's 200 teaspoons of water!

02 Pour Lab: Fill It Up!
Drag the level to fill it up
Pick a container, then drag Milo's marker along the measuring jug until the liquid line matches how much you think it holds. Lock in your answer to see how close you got!
jug reads 0 – 1,000 millilitres
Drag Milo until the jug matches the teaspoon's capacity, then lock in your answer!
03 Sort It: Pick the Right Unit
Tap an item, then tap its bin
Every liquid amount belongs with millilitres or litres. Sort all 8 before the round is done!
04 Convert & Compare
Millilitres → Litres
1,000 millilitres make 1 litre. Slide to fill up the litre jugs!
each block = 1 litre (1000 mL)
Fill-Off: Which Holds More?
Pick two containers and watch them fill up — the fuller jar holds more liquid!
